Its too tight in your private area that after awhile it will hurt you. I'm 5'2 137 lbs and i got a medium. I love the compression on the stomach area, and no compression on your butt/hips area which makes it perfect for a BBL. . I would order a stage 2, but whats stopping me is the crotch area. Hope they can fix that in the future and it would be the PERFECT faja.
